Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Use when creating or developing a feature, this contains a focused instructions for building features.Key capabilities
- →Build end-to-end feature slices
- →Validate system architecture early
- →Iterate based on rapid feedback
How it works
It implements tiny, end-to-end slices of functionality that traverse all system layers to validate the architecture before full-scale development.
Inputs & outputs
When to use build-feature
- →Implement a small feature slice to test architecture
- →Develop end-to-end functionality for a new requirement
- →Validate system components early in development
About this skill
Rules
- Make sure you're certain from all ambiguities, otherwise ask for clarification
- If there's a plan, follow it and ask for clarification if needed
- Follow the Tracer Bullets to build a small, focused, end-to-end slice of the feature
Tracer Bullets
When building features, build a tiny, end-to-end slice of the feature first, seek feedback, then expand out from there. Tracer bullets comes from the Pragmatic Programmer. When building systems, you want to write code that gets you feedback as quickly as possible. Tracer bullets are small slices of functionality that go through all layers of the system, allowing you to test and validate your approach early. This helps in identifying potential issues and ensures that the overall architecture is sound before investing significant time in development.
When not to use it
- →When building large, monolithic features without slicing
Limitations
- →Requires clear requirements to avoid ambiguity
How it compares
It prioritizes early architectural validation through tracer bullets instead of building features in isolation.
